University Crypto Class Materials Available Online

You can audit "Welcome to Practical Aspects of Modern Cryptography." It was taught at the University of Washington, Winter 2006, by Josh Benaloh, Brian LaMacchia, and John Manderdelli. The course materials and videos of the lectures are online.

Interestingly, Josh Benaloh "disses" Bruce's Applied Cryto book by calling it a "popular" book, but _not_ a "good" book. See the first 10 minutes or so of the first class video. Josh even goes on to say there are many errors in Applied Crypto and warns the students that if he finds this book on developers bookshelves, he becomes worried.

Having just had the year's first heavy frost this morning, I can assure you this is not so. You might also believe (as I type this) that the 6th of June 2006 is in the future, but for me it is almost half over.
